unbolting
Opening a secured door
Unbolting is removing a bolt or bolts from something, typically to detach or open it: They spent the afternoon unbolting the old engine from the frame.
The word applies to both mechanical bolts and door bolts.
Figuratively, unbolting suggests releasing something previously secured or locked away.
